Abstract

A cooling system which can be fastened on a ceiling with a suspension provided beneath the ceiling disposed above a space to be cooled and with cooling pipes between the ceiling and the suspension wherein the space to be cooled and the space between the ceiling and the suspension are connected with each other through air current paths.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
       1. Cooling system which can be fastened on a ceiling (10) with a suspension (16 to 19, 41 to 44, 69 to 71, 115, 116) provided underneath the ceiling (10) disposed above a space (8) to be cooled, and with a plurality of adjacent cooling pipes (11 to 14; 48, 49; 82 to 85, 102 to 105) between ceiling (10) and suspension (16 to 19, 41 to 44, 69 to 71, 115, 116), the space (8) to be cooled and the space between ceiling (10) and suspension (16 to 19, 41 to 44, 69 to 71, 115, 116) are connected with each other through an air current path, condensation water channels are disposed in vertical arrangements underneath the cooling pipes (11 to 14), characterized in that the condensation water channels are first panels (18, 19) providing along with second panels (16, 17) which are disposed below and between horizontally adjacent cooling pipes (11 to 14) said suspension in which the air current paths (36, 37) are provided by gaps between the first and second panels (16 to 19). 
     
     
       2. Cooling system as stated in claim 1, characterized in that the space (8) to be cooled and the space between ceiling (10) and suspension (16 to 19, 41 to 44, 69 to 71, 115, 116) are connected with each other through two air current paths (53, 51) wherein via the one air current path (53) air flows from space to be cooled into the space between ceiling (10) and suspension (16 to 19, 41 to 44, 69 to 71, 115, 116) and wherein via the other air current path (51) air flows from the space between ceiling (10) and suspension (16 to 19, 41 to 44, 69 to 71, 115, 116) into the space (8) to be cooled. 
     
     
       3. Cooling system as stated in claim 1, characterized in that the air current path is formed by an opening (36, 37) in the suspension (16 to 19, 41 to 44, 69 to 71, 115, 116). 
     
     
       4. Cooling system as stated in claim 2, characterized in that both air current paths are formed by openings (51, 53) disposed in the suspension (16 to 19, 41 to 44, 69 to 71, 115, 116). 
     
     
       5. Cooling system as stated in claim 2 or 4, characterized in that the condensation water channel (44) is disposed in the vicinity of an opening (51, 53). 
     
     
       6. Cooling system as stated in claim 1, characterized in that between ceiling (10) and cooling pipes (11 to 14; 48, 49; 82 to 85; 102 to 105) is disposed a sound-damping layer (29). 
     
     
       7. Cooling system as stated in claim 1, characterized in that two or several cooling pipes (11 to 14; 48, 49; 82 to 85; 102 to 105) are disposed one above other and have a given distance from horizontally adjacent cooling pipes disposed one above the other. 
     
     
       8. Cooling system as stated in claim 1, characterized in that a cooling pipe (49) is in physical contact with an upper side of the suspension (41, 42). 
     
     
       9. Cooling system as stated in claim 1, characterized in that the condensation water channel comprises a U-rail (86) and disposed underneath the cooling pipes (11, 12; 13, 14) and that webs (78, 79) extending perpendicularly to the U-rail (86) and having a carrier web extending transversely for the suspension (69 to 71) are provided. 05; 48, 49; 82 to 85; 102 to 105) 
     
     
       10. Cooling system as stated in claim 1, characterized in that the suspension comprises said first and second panels (16 to 19) of different widths wherein wider second panels (16, 17) are disposed below and between horizontally adjacent cooling pipes (11, 12; 13, 14) and narrower first panels (18) are disposed vertically below the cooling pipes (11 to 14). 
     
     
       11. Cooling system as stated in claim 10, characterized in that the suspension comprises panels (41, 42) which are arcuate and hooked into carrier elements (45, 46) provided on the cooling pipes. 
     
     
       12. Cooling system as stated in claim 1, characterized in that a closure closes the air current paths off. 
     
     
       13. Cooling system as stated in claim 12, characterized in that the closure comprises vertically adjustable closure profiles (117).
